Suffer From Chronic Back Pain? Understanding Causes & Treatment Options
About 80% of adults experience low back pain at some point in their lives, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders & Stroke (NIH). Back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a physician, and it can often impact daily activities, work performance, and quality of life.
Low back pain is generally defined as discomfort that lasts between 4 and 12 weeks. Causes can range from muscle strain and repetitive overuse to herniated discs, arthritis, or work-related injuries.
